A prime location around the corner from Newberry Street and easy Access by car. This hotel also has extremely helpful staff with a courteous and professional mentality. From the time you get out of your car and every step of the way, everyone is friendly and asking how they can help. The rooms are gorgeous, spacious and comfortable. I would recommend this hotel enthusiastically to anyone wishing to get away for a week or a weekend and explore Boston in the surrounding area.

5 star experience across the board. Gorgeous room - huge and luxurious - in a central location in Back Bay, perfect for getting to a conference at Hynes Convention Center without being directly in the middle of it. I requested a quiet room (as I'm a light sleeper and pregnant and desperate for sleep!) and they put me in a lovely corner spot tucked away from any street noise. It was quiet and peaceful and well-insulated; couldn't hear neighboring guests as all. My favorite hotel experience in a long time!

The Eliot's reputation as a first rate (boutique) hotel is richly deserved. The service is impeccable; the rooms are beautifully appointed and maintained; and the entire operation sparkles with class and grace. Uni restaurant, which is in the hotel, is one of the best in the city; and if you want a big breakfast, you can dine in the Harvard Club with is next door and has an arrangement with the Eliot. We had a wonderful stay at the Eliot.

We recently stayed at the Eliot Hotel, room 603. Excellent location, intimate boutique hotel with friendly staff. Our 2 rooms consisted of a separate spacious sitting area complete with a tv and a bedroom with a king-size bed. The amenities were: quality linens, cotton waffle robes, superior towels, daily delivery of bottled spring water and gracious housekeeping. The doorman Jean was a delight. And although the rug had numerous spots and the room needed a fresh coat of paint, we would positively stay here again. I understand renovations are scheduled for the near future.

We had an excellent stay. The service was outstanding, the rooms and common areas were extremely clean, and everything was very well maintained. All the staff were incredibly helpful, polite, and friendly, always willing to assist with a smile. They truly made us feel welcome and comfortable throughout our stay. We would definitely recommend ELIOT and would be happy to stay here again.

Eliot Hotel was amazing. When I arrived I accidentally parked in the wrong spot for valet. The doorman was kind enough to still walk to my car to drive my car to the lot, although he did not have to. The room itself was decorated to celebrate my Fiancés birthday as a surprise. It made her cry. Great location that allowed us to stay in the area. A legitimate 10/10

This is our new go to hotel in Boston. Great service and location with old world charm. Bathroom is a little small but the setting room more than makes up for it. There is a separate bar space with lots of goodies and your morning coffee. For a 100 years old building it’s been beautifully kept up. 5 stars!

This is our go to favorite home away from home in Boston. Welcoming, friendly and hospitable at all levels. It feels like family with old world graciousness and hospitality. The suites are spacious, comfortable and well appointed… like a home should be. Also, even when the hotel is maximum occupied I have never had sound issues. Solidly constructed.
